Chapter 1

The afternoon was dark. There was only a sliver of sun showing occasionally through the thick blanket of clouds in the sky. There was a rain shower approaching, judging from the darkness of the afternoon. The air was warm and humid, a typical mid- July evening.

Ariel pulled her car into her driveway after a long day at Sunshine Kids Day Care Center where she worked. The cabin in the woods was dark and surrounded by trees. Ariel loved it. She parked the car and fumbled in her purse for her house keys before leaving the car. She found the key and went to the door. Her big white cat, Angel, was patiently waiting on the porch by the door, meowing. Ariel bent down and scooped up the cat, hugging her gently.

When the door was unlocked and opened, Angel jumped from Ariel's arms and ran into the kitchen to eat. Ariel closed the door, turned on the light switch by the door and kicked off her black high heeled shoes, putting them in the closet by the door. She went in the kitchen and took a bottle of beer from the fridge. She opened it and took a long swallow as she sat on the chair by the table. "What a day, Angel. Those kids were wild today, kitty." she said to the cat, who looked at her and meowed. She sat there for about 15 minutes, drinking her beer. She looked at the clock on the wall, 5:45 pm. She had just over 2 hours before Jack would arrive.

Ariel opened the cabinet door by the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine, putting it on the top shelf in the refrigerator to get cold. She took 2 wine glasses from the cupboard and rummaged around in the utensil drawer for the corkscrew, setting it on the counter by the glasses. With the wine chilling, Ariel went into the living room and turned on the stereo to her favorite country station. She walked back through the kitchen and into the bathroom, undressing as she went.

She took off her blue button-up blouse and long black skirt, tossing them into the laundry hamper. She removed her black lace bra, black lace panties, black fishnet stockings and black garter belt, tossing them into the lingerie basket by the hamper. She pulled out the hairpins that were holding her hair up and placed them on the counter by the sink. She shook out her cloud of chocolate brown hair that fell to her waist. She turned on the water in the shower and stepped into it, closing the curtain.

Ariel let the warm water flow seductively over her smooth skin, which was tanned golden from the sun. It flowed over her ample breasts and pert nipples, over her slightly plump tummy and butt, down over the dark silky curls of her woman's mound and down her long shapely legs to her dainty feet with the toenails painted bright red. She closed her eyes and thought about the night ahead. Her boyfriend Jack would be there at 8:00 sharp. She opened her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall above the toilet: 6:00 pm. Exactly two hours until Jack got there for dinner.

Ariel smiled as she poured shampoo onto her hand and washed her hair, remembering the day she met Jack: She was shopping for a new computer at the local electronics store and he was looking at the one beside the one she was looking at. At first, Ariel thought he was one of the store salesmen, so she asked him, "Excuse me, sir. Could you tell me more about this particular laptop computer? What features it has and all?"
